coffee is the question

“God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.”

“You know you really miss someone when you crave something so simple such as the sound of their voice.”

Those times you're lost and don't know what's coming next are always the moments right before something extraordinary happens.

A lover doesn’t discourage your growth. a lover says, ⠀ ⠀ ‘I see who you are today, I cannot wait to see who you become tomorrow’

what i like about her is that she blooms whether you water her or not. whether you give her light or not. she exists without your existence.

I hear a lot of people saying, “I don’t feel God anymore.” And there’s a lot of guilt there, like they’re not trying hard enough. But “not-feeling-God” doesn’t make you a bad Christian: just an honest one. And maybe our baseline for “feeling-Him” got messed up with a false foundation.Maybe when Life Got Hard, no one taught you a clear theology on pain. Maybe no one mentioned that seasons of doubt, suffering, and detachment are regular valleys in a believer’s life.Those are also the EXACT times we go to God and tell Him everything. To even say, “I don’t feel you right now, God.” You can tell Him that.Most of us think we’ve failed God when we don’t feel Him, when it’s actually that feeling of His absence that can either push you to Him or from Him. He’d much rather it be to Him.

Ladies, let him work for your heart may there be trials, hot schorching summers, brutal long winters, parched deserts, heavy floods, before he can say he stole your heart. What he considers an easy quest will result in a temporary, not respected affair Rest your heart in Christ and the right one will cross endless seas for you and your heart, because he sees your eternal value as Christ does, and that is you being worth pursuing despite the cost

I want to be a woman of God.  of love.  of passion.  of vulnerability.  of gentleness.  of understanding.  of grace.  of strength.  of encouragement.

Occasionally weep deeply over the life you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Then wash your face. Trust God. And embrace the life you have.

Lust says, “What can you do for me?” Love says, “What can I do for you?

What love is this? You gave your life for me, you made a way for me to know you.
